LIGHT AT LAST.

The Telegraph took occasion yes
terday to commend Governor Cor
don's action in the latest outrage on
convicts. To-day we renew the lam
guage used, and urge him in the
name Of the people of Georgia to
press the remedy he has applied to
the extinction of all control by the
guilty parties over the minds, souls
and bodies of the miserable creatures
who have suffered in their hands.
10 be convict and to labor with
out hope, day in and day out, under
the blue skies of heaven and in sight
of the smiling fields and fragrant
woods, and by the familiar streams,
yet with the chain Of slavery upon
ones limbs, is, God knows, punish
ment enough for most crimes. But
when on top of these is laid the cruel
lash, when men who are as human as
him whose hands pens, or eyes be-
hold these lines, are subjected to
bodily abuse and mutilaton differing
in form only from that of the Span
lsh inquisitlon, when they are left to
rot with disease and burn with fevers.
when the fair face of their mother
earth is for them turned into a
plague spot and they are made tc
long for the refuge Of the grave,
guilty though they be, depraved
abandoned, even lost to hope, we
confess that the scene stirs us to bit
ter rebellion, and We blush when
men call US Georgians.
The humblest negro of the convict
camp, the blacklist negro there, is en-.
titled to good air, water, food and hu.
name treatment. These are the in.
alienable rights OF all men who are
suffered to live. The man who would
deprive ore Il taem Of either, is bet
ter fitted for the chains he would
make heavier. And yet the testi-
mony is clear that such wrongs are
often committed in the name and IN

NOT HANGED.
A Notorious Texas Desperate Escapes
the GallOWs BIZ Bribery.


A Fort Worth special to the Times
Democrat says: Campbell Langley,
father of the once notorious and not
yet-forgotten Bill Langley, removed
from Bell county, Texas, from near
Lexington Lee county, Taxas, twelve
years ago. During his residence in
Lee and Bell counties he has been
known as d well-to-do farmer and an
upright citizen. Campbell Langley
to-day told story to some OF the
leading citizens Of Bell county which
but for his well-known Christian
character would be put down as the
widest fiction. He says his son, Bill
Langley, who was publicly hanged
twelve years ago in Giddings, Lee
county, by Sheriff Jim Brown in the
presence of several thousand people,
was not hurt at all, but was allowed
to escape. The father says: when
the supreme court and the governor
refused to intervene in Bills behalf,
rich uncle in California came to the
rescue with $4,000, which worked
upon the sympathies of the sheriff
charged with the execution Of the
sentence, and that the friends OF Bill
were permitted to arrange things SC

when he had drawn his legs M
and down two or three times the at
tending physicians pronounced him
dead and he was turned over to his
friends for interment. The coffin,
which was actually buried, contained
nothing but stones. While the last
sad rites were being performed Bill
Langley was well on his way out Of
the country He has been living
since his supposed execution in
Nicaragua, where he has become a
leading citizen and one Of the largest
land and cattle herders in Central
America.
Those who know Campbell Langley
do not hesitate 10 believe his story,

A RIOT AT DECATUR.

\ large Sunday School celebration
Of colored people was in progress at
Decatur, Ga, six miles below Allan
ra, last Saturday. A drunken and
boisterous negro, named Wesley HUI
bert, created disturbance in the as
semblage, waving pistol and threat
ened to kill anybody who interferred
with him. The town marshal, lobe
Hurst, was called by some colored
men to remove Hubert. The Marshal
accompanied by Baillff Rogers, ar
rested Hubert and started with him
to the lookup. A crowd of negroes,
headed by Jack and Henry Goldsmith,
some of them drunk, followed the Of
hcers and swore that they should not
take Hubert, who was at first disposed
to 90 along quietly. He was disarn-
ed OF his pistol. The negroes then
jerked Hubert from the officers and
started off with him The officers
swore out a warrant and started In
pursuit, accompanied by Sheriff Aus
tin, Ex Marshal T. II. Chivers, max
ing squad of four. About dozen
negroes were overtaken on the rail
road coming towards Atlanta, with
Hubert in their midst. A tall null
alto named Max Prltchett, was hand
ed a pistol by Henry Goldsmith, and
he locked arms with Hubert and de-
fed the officers, when Jack Cold
smith drew his knife and attempted
to cut Sheriff Austin and the Mar
shall as they insisted on arresting HUI
bert. The negroes pulled their pis-
tolls and began firing and the whites
did the same. Mr.. W. +. Patillo
seeing the difficulty joined the whites
and began to shoot rapidly when the
negroes fled, then it was discovered
that Marshal Hurst was shot through
the right side, death resulting almost
instantly, the fatal ball being fired, il
is alleged, by the mulatto, Max
Pritchett, who also shot and wound.

who was the cause OF the difficulty
was shot and killed. The killing o

600 to bring a profit Of $4,000. |
Therefore, $4,000 worth OF whisky
must be sold without dollars profit |
Each of the four dealers make at
least $1,000 year profit, This re-
quires a sale Of $4,000. Add to this
$4,000 and there is at the lowest
calculation 100000 worth Of whisky
sold in Greenville annually. The
sales probably reach nearly 500, 900.
